Colin Powell Book Is Coming in May

Colin Powell has written a book revealing the lessons that shaped his life and career, to be published by HarperCollins in May, the publisher said on Sunday.

The book, “It Worked for Me,” is a “collection of lessons and personal anecdotes that have driven the four star-general and former Secretary of State’s legendary career in public service,” the publisher said.

In a statement, Jonathan Burnham, the publisher of Harper, called Mr. Powell “a truly inspirational figure.” “Decades of public service have proven him to be an unparalleled leader, a man who commands respect in many fields,” Mr. Burnham said. “His remarkable book distills his wisdom into memorable anecdotes and lessons, drawing from his life and career.”

Mr. Powell is also the author of “My American Journey,” a memoir published by Random House in 1995. “It Worked for Me” was co-written with Tony Koltz.
